Cause The design of the District’s internal control system over food service records and reimbursement requests is inadequate. Questioned Costs None Context A sample of 2 out of 12 monthly reports were selected for testing. Effect A lack of internal controls over cash management could result in the District receiving incorrect amounts of reimbursements from the granting agency.
